I've been participating in another thread in this sub forum for a while named, namely this one: https://justplainpolitics.com/threads/the-ukraine-peace-deal-is-proving-to-be-a-scam.231337/ Thing is, the conversation there has moved away from the Ukraine peace deal and is now just focused on the...

On March 29, the New York Times published an article from a journalist named Adam Entous with the same name as this thread. I have a subscription to the New York Times, which allows me to share 10 articles a month. Here is the unlocked version...

It appears that Trump has already made deals with Zelensky and Putin. Yet, reports show that Russia and Ukraine are still attacking energy facilities. Some media sources claim that Ukraine is not honoring the agreements made in the UAE. But what do you think? Can we stop the conflict from...

Just finished reading a new article on the war in Ukraine from a substacker I've come to admire on the topic, Simplicius. It can be seen here: https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/negotiations-continue-to-go-nowhere Quoting from the introduction and conclusion of the article: ** The next...

Had some difficulty figuring out what forum I should put this in, come to the conclusion that this one is the best. It's a prediction on what's going to happen in the world in the coming years, while acknowledging that there are still some unknowns...

Some here know that Trump and Putin were scheduled to talk on the phone again today. It's now happened and there are some articles coming out on what was discussed and what agreements were made. I'm including one article from Russia's RT and one article from the New York Times below...

Great article from Joe Lauria, who I've come to greatly respect as a journalist. Quoting some of his article below: ** March 16, 2025 By Joe Lauria Nothing could have been clearer than Russia’s repeated conditions for a permanent end of the war, rather than a temporary ceasefire: Ukraine’s...

I look at 2024 trends and this is what I find. Great Britain has strategic interest in Eastern Europe and will go for resources in Moldova and Transnistria. Now that Ukraine conflict finishes GB plans to use this moment to grab a lot of resources from this region and make it sphere of her influence.

I'm certainly not complete sure, but I think it's a fairly safe bet. 2 to 1 odds perhaps. I'm making a poll out of this, with people allowed to change their votes for the 60 days that the poll will be available. This is a public poll, I'd like to see who votes which way. An article that I think...

Scott Ritter published a great article yesterday on Consortium News, thought some here might like to see it and perhaps engage in a bit of constructive discussion. I know that some here are not exactly fans of Mr. Ritter, but boy, he can be good at finding information that slips unnoticed by...

As you are well aware, since July 1, 2024 Hungary takes over the EU presidency. Its Prime Minister, Viktor Orban used his great timing to become an intermediary in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia about cease-fire. First he visited Kyiv and in two days landed in Moscow...

I was born and raised in Ukraine but have lived in the US for over 10 years. I don’t know much of what is going on in my motherland but now I’m worried about Ukraine, because of its war against Russia. This is what I don’t understand: why don’t the allies provide the necessary military support...

Is it time for world powers to become more reasonable regarding escalation of political tension? Every day I follow the news on global politics, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war between them has lasted for more than two years now but the situation barely changes. We send...

Deutsche Welle This is what happened with the Karachay-Cherkessia plot.

Have you ever thought of why we support Ukraine? Why do the US spend billions of dollars every year on this country? Maybe you would want to raise an objection saying that Ukraine is an important partner for both us and all Western states. However, it doesn’t seem true to me. The American...

The war in Ukraine has begun three years ago, and we have been sending Ukrainians all the necessary support ever since. But the war is not over. Now it's become a slaughter where people from different countries get killed. With that, Ukraine goes on losing it's territory. I think, given the...
